How did those H&R's ride? I have the Tanabe's.
Tire size?
All corners were identical at one time,,had rear end problems and wore the tires out. Fixed that and just put anything back there that fitted. Didnt want to go crazy wide, have to roll fenders, etc. just wanted a nice conservative look that handled fairly decent. I got what I was aiming for.

IIRC, the grille was a combination of the grille (surround?) that came with the Erebuni body kit, mesh and an emblem from one of the newer hybrid Lexus vehicles (RX450h, if I remember correctly).
In my opinion, 18s (and you can also pull off some sporty wheels with the right amount of drop) look great on a UCF1x due to its slightly smaller wheelbase. In the case of a UCF2x, I'd say you're better off with 19s. They look a bit more proportionate with the longer wheelbase. The only real downside (that I'm aware of) of 19s is the tires are a bit more expensive than say, 18s or 20s.
